2023-04-18Update time zone data files to tzdata release 2023c.Tom Lane
DST law changes in Egypt, Greenland, Morocco, and Palestine. When observing Moscow time, Europe/Kirov and Europe/Volgograd now use the abbreviations MSK/MSD instead of numeric abbreviations, for consistency with other timezones observing Moscow time. Also, America/Yellowknife is no longer distinct from America/Edmonton; this affects some pre-1948 timestamps in that area.

2022-11-01Update time zone data files to tzdata release 2022f.Tom Lane
DST law changes in Chile, Fiji, Iran, Jordan, Mexico, Palestine, and Syria. Historical corrections for Chile, Crimea, Iran, and Mexico. Also, the Europe/Kiev zone has been renamed to Europe/Kyiv (retaining the old name as a link). The following zones have been merged into nearby, more-populous zones whose clocks have agreed since 1970: Antarctica/Vostok, Asia/Brunei, Asia/Kuala_Lumpur, Atlantic/Reykjavik, Europe/Amsterdam, Europe/Copenhagen, Europe/Luxembourg, Europe/Monaco, Europe/Oslo, Europe/Stockholm, Indian/Christmas, Indian/Cocos, Indian/Kerguelen, Indian/Mahe, Indian/Reunion, Pacific/Chuuk, Pacific/Funafuti, Pacific/Majuro, Pacific/Pohnpei, Pacific/Wake and Pacific/Wallis. (This indirectly affects zones that were already links to one of these: Arctic/Longyearbyen, Atlantic/Jan_Mayen, Iceland, Pacific/Ponape, Pacific/Truk, and Pacific/Yap.) America/Nipigon, America/Rainy_River, America/Thunder_Bay, Europe/Uzhgorod, and Europe/Zaporozhye were also merged into nearby zones after discovering that their claimed post-1970 differences from those zones seem to have been errors. While the IANA crew have been working on merging zones that have no post-1970 differences for some time, this batch of changes affects some zones that are significantly more populous than those merged in the past, notably parts of Europe. The loss of pre-1970 timezone history for those zones may be troublesome for applications expecting consistency of timestamptz display. As an example, the stored value '1944-06-01 12:00 UTC' would previously display as '1944-06-01 13:00:00+01' if the Europe/Stockholm zone is selected, but now it will read out as '1944-06-01 14:00:00+02'. There exists a "packrat" option that will build the timezone data files with this old data preserved, but the problem is that it also resurrects a bunch of other, far less well-attested data; so much so that actually more zones' contents change from 2022a with that option than without it. I have chosen not to do that here, for that reason and because it appears that no major OS distributions are using the "packrat" option, so that doing so would cause Postgres' behavior to diverge significantly depending on whether it was built with --with-system-tzdata. However, for anyone for whom these changes pose significant problems, there is a solution: build a set of timezone files with the "packrat" option and use those with Postgres.
2022-10-05meson: Add windows resource filesAndres Freund
The generated resource files aren't exactly the same ones as the old buildsystems generate. Previously "InternalName" and "OriginalFileName" were mostly wrong / not set (despite being required), but that was hard to fix in at least the make build. Additionally, the meson build falls back to a "auto-generated" description when not set, and doesn't set it in a few cases - unlikely that anybody looks at these descriptions in detail.

2022-09-22meson: Add initial version of meson based build systemAndres Freund
Autoconf is showing its age, fewer and fewer contributors know how to wrangle it. Recursive make has a lot of hard to resolve dependency issues and slow incremental rebuilds. Our home-grown MSVC build system is hard to maintain for developers not using Windows and runs tests serially. While these and other issues could individually be addressed with incremental improvements, together they seem best addressed by moving to a more modern build system. After evaluating different build system choices, we chose to use meson, to a good degree based on the adoption by other open source projects. We decided that it's more realistic to commit a relatively early version of the new build system and mature it in tree. This commit adds an initial version of a meson based build system. It supports building postgres on at least AIX, FreeBSD, Linux, macOS, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris and Windows (however only gcc is supported on aix, solaris). For Windows/MSVC postgres can now be built with ninja (faster, particularly for incremental builds) and msbuild (supporting the visual studio GUI, but building slower). Several aspects (e.g. Windows rc file generation, PGXS compatibility, LLVM bitcode generation, documentation adjustments) are done in subsequent commits requiring further review. Other aspects (e.g. not installing test-only extensions) are not yet addressed. When building on Windows with msbuild, builds are slower when using a visual studio version older than 2019, because those versions do not support MultiToolTask, required by meson for intra-target parallelism. The plan is to remove the MSVC specific build system in src/tools/msvc soon after reaching feature parity. However, we're not planning to remove the autoconf/make build system in the near future. Likely we're going to keep at least the parts required for PGXS to keep working around until all supported versions build with meson. Some initial help for postgres developers is at https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Meson With contributions from Thomas Munro, John Naylor, Stone Tickle and others.

Make our copy of the IANA timezone library use named parameters in function declarations. Also make sure that parameter names from each function's declaration match corresponding definition parameter names. This makes the timezone code follow Postgres coding standards.

2022-09-02Expand the use of get_dirent_type(), shaving a few calls to stat()/lstat()Michael Paquier
Several backend-side loops scanning one or more directories with ReadDir() (WAL segment recycle/removal in xlog.c, backend-side directory copy, temporary file removal, configuration file parsing, some logical decoding logic and some pgtz stuff) already know the type of the entry being scanned thanks to the dirent structure associated to the entry, on platforms where we know about DT_REG, DT_DIR and DT_LNK to make the difference between a regular file, a directory and a symbolic link. Relying on the direct structure of an entry saves a few system calls to stat() and lstat() in the loops updated here, shaving some code while on it. The logic of the code remains the same, calling stat() or lstat() depending on if it is necessary to look through symlinks.

2020-12-15Improve hash_create()'s API for some added robustness.Tom Lane
Invent a new flag bit HASH_STRINGS to specify C-string hashing, which was formerly the default; and add assertions insisting that exactly one of the bits HASH_STRINGS, HASH_BLOBS, and HASH_FUNCTION be set. This is in hopes of preventing recurrences of the type of oversight fixed in commit a1b8aa1e4 (i.e., mistakenly omitting HASH_BLOBS). Also, when HASH_STRINGS is specified, insist that the keysize be more than 8 bytes. This is a heuristic, but it should catch accidental use of HASH_STRINGS for integer or pointer keys. (Nearly all existing use-cases set the keysize to NAMEDATALEN or more, so there's little reason to think this restriction should be problematic.) Tweak hash_create() to insist that the HASH_ELEM flag be set, and remove the defaults it had for keysize and entrysize. Since those defaults were undocumented and basically useless, no callers omitted HASH_ELEM anyway. Also, remove memset's zeroing the HASHCTL parameter struct from those callers that had one. This has never been really necessary, and while it wasn't a bad coding convention it was confusing that some callers did it and some did not. We might as well save a few cycles by standardizing on "not". Also improve the documentation for hash_create(). In passing, improve reinit.c's usage of a hash table by storing the key as a binary Oid rather than a string; and, since that's a temporary hash table, allocate it in CurrentMemoryContext for neatness.

2020-10-17Sync our copy of the timezone library with IANA release tzcode2020c.Tom Lane
This changes zic's default output format from "-b fat" to "-b slim". We were already using "slim" in v13/HEAD, so those branches drop the explicit -b switch in the Makefiles. Instead, add an explicit "-b fat" in v12 and before, so that we don't change the output file format in those branches. (This is perhaps excessively conservative, but we decided not to do so in a12079109, and I'll stick with that.) Other non-cosmetic changes are to drop support for zic's long-obsolete "-y" switch, and to ensure that strftime() does not change errno unless it fails. As usual with tzcode changes, back-patch to all supported branches.

While here, correct a couple of other trivial inconsistencies between the Default file and the supposedly-matching entries in the *.txt files, as exposed by some checking with comm(1).

2020-06-29Remove support for timezone "posixrules" file.Tom Lane
The IANA tzcode library has a feature to read a time zone file named "posixrules" and apply the daylight-savings transition dates and times therein, when it is given a POSIX-style time zone specification that lacks an explicit transition rule. However, there's a problem with that code: it doesn't work for dates past the Y2038 time_t rollover. (Effectively, all times beyond that point are treated as standard time.) The IANA crew regard this feature as legacy, so their plan is to remove it not fix it. The time frame in which that will happen is unclear, but presumably it'll happen well before 2038. Moreover, effective with the next IANA data update (probably this fall), the recommended default will be to not install a "posixrules" file in the first place. The time frame in which tzdata packagers might adopt that suggestion is likewise unclear, but at least some platforms will probably do it in the next year or so. While we could ignore that recommendation so far as PG-supplied tzdata trees are concerned, builds using --with-system-tzdata will be subject to whatever the platform's tzdata packager decides to do. Thus, whether or not we do anything, some increasing fraction of Postgres users will be exposed to the behavior observed when there is no "posixrules" file; and if we do nothing, we'll have essentially no control over the timing of that change. The best thing to do to ameliorate the uncertainty seems to be to proactively remove the posixrules-reading feature. If we do that in a scheduled release then at least we can release-note the behavioral change, rather than having users be surprised by it after a routine tzdata update. The change in question is fairly minor anyway: to be affected, you have to be using a POSIX-style timezone spec, it has to not have an explicit rule, and it has to not be one of the four traditional continental-USA zone names (EST5EDT, CST6CDT, MST7MDT, or PST8PDT), as those are special-cased. Since the default "posixrules" file provides USA DST rules, the number of people who are likely to find such a zone spec useful is probably quite small. Moreover, the fallback behavior with no explicit rule and no "posixrules" file is to apply current USA rules, so the only thing that really breaks is the DST transitions in years before 2007 (and you get the countervailing fix that transitions after 2038 will be applied). Now, some installations might have replaced the "posixrules" file, allowing e.g. EU rules to be applied to a POSIX-style timezone spec. That won't work anymore. But it's not exactly clear why this solution would be preferable to using a regular named zone. In any case, given the Y2038 issue, we need to be pushing users to stop depending on this. Back-patch into v13; it hasn't been released yet, so it seems OK to change its behavior. (Personally I think we ought to back-patch further, but I've been outvoted.)

I forgot that INT64_FORMAT can't be used with sscanf on Windows. Use the same trick of sscanf'ing into a temp variable as we do in some other places in zic.c. The upstream IANA code avoids the portability problem by relying on <inttypes.h>'s SCNdFAST64 macro.

This absorbs a leap-second-related bug fix in localtime.c, and teaches zic to handle an expiration marker in the leapseconds file. Neither are of any interest to us (for the foreseeable future anyway), but we need to stay more or less in sync with upstream. Also adjust some over-eager changes in the README from commit 957338418. I have no intention of making changes that require C99 in this code, until such time as all the live back branches require C99. Otherwise back-patching will get too exciting. For the same reason, absorb assorted whitespace and other cosmetic changes from HEAD into the back branches; mostly this reflects use of improved versions of pgindent. All in all then, quite a boring update. But I figured I'd get it done while I was looking at this code.

This also removes a few steps in the required portability adjustments to the imported time zone code, which can be applied on the next import.

When maintaining or merging patches, one of the most common sources for conflicts are the list of objects in makefiles. Especially when the split across lines has been changed on both sides, which is somewhat common due to attempting to stay below 80 columns, those conflicts are unnecessarily laborious to resolve.

2019-08-19Use zic's new "-b slim" option to generate smaller timezone files.Tom Lane
IANA tzcode release 2019b adds an option that tells zic not to emit the old 32-bit section of the timezone files, and to skip some other space-wasting hacks needed for compatibility with old timezone client libraries. Since we only expect our own code to use the timezone data we install, and our code is up-to-date with 2019b, there's no apparent reason not to generate the smallest possible files. Unfortunately, while the individual zone files do get significantly smaller in many cases, they were not that big to begin with; which means that no real space savings ensues on filesystems that don't optimize small files. (For instance, on ext4 with 4K block size, "du" says the installed timezone tree is the same size as before.) Still, it seems worth making the change, if only because this is presumably the wave of the future. At the very least, we'll save some cycles while reading a zone file. But given the marginal value and the fact that this is a new code path, it doesn't seem worth the risk of back-patching this change into stable branches. Hence, unlike most of our timezone-related changes, apply to HEAD only. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/24998.1563403327@sss.pgh.pa.us

2019-07-26Tweak our special-case logic for the IANA "Factory" timezone.Tom Lane
pg_timezone_names() tries to avoid showing the "Factory" zone in the view, mainly because that has traditionally had a very long "abbreviation" such as "Local time zone must be set--see zic manual page", so that showing it messes up psql's formatting of the whole view. Since tzdb version 2016g, IANA instead uses the abbreviation "-00", which is sane enough that there's no reason to discriminate against it. On the other hand, it emerges that FreeBSD and possibly other packagers are so wedded to backwards compatibility that they hack the IANA data to keep the old spelling --- and not just that old spelling, but even older spellings that IANA used back in the stone age. This caused the filter logic to fail to suppress "Factory" at all on such platforms, though the formatting problem is definitely real in that case. To solve both problems, get rid of the hard-wired assumption about exactly what Factory's abbreviation is, and instead reject abbreviations exceeding 31 characters. This will allow Factory to appear in the view if and only if it's using the modern abbreviation. In passing, simplify the code we add to zic.c to support "zic -P" to remove its now-obsolete hacks to not print the Factory zone's abbreviation. Unlike pg_timezone_names(), there's no reason for that code to support old/nonstandard timezone data. Since we generally prefer to keep timezone-related behavior the same in all branches, and since this is arguably a bug fix, back-patch to all supported branches.

2019-04-26Sync our copy of the timezone library with IANA release tzcode2019a.Tom Lane
This corrects a small bug in zic that caused it to output an incorrect year-2440 transition in the Africa/Casablanca zone. More interestingly, zic has grown a "-r" option that limits the range of zone transitions that it will put into the output files. That might be useful to people who don't like the weird GMT offsets that tzdb likes to use for very old dates. It appears that for dates before the cutoff time specified with -r, zic will use the zone's standard-time offset as of the cutoff time. So for example one might do make install ZIC_OPTIONS='-r @-1893456000' to cause all dates before 1910-01-01 to be treated as though 1910 standard time prevailed indefinitely far back. (Don't blame me for the unfriendly way of specifying the cutoff time --- it's seconds since or before the Unix epoch. You can use extract(epoch ...) to calculate it.) As usual, back-patch to all supported branches.
2019-04-26Update time zone data files to tzdata release 2019a.Tom Lane
DST law changes in Palestine and Metlakatla. Historical corrections for Israel. Etc/UCT is now a backward-compatibility link to Etc/UTC, instead of being a separate zone that generates the abbreviation "UCT", which nowadays is typically a typo. Postgres will still accept "UCT" as an input zone name, but it won't output it.

Replace casts whose only purpose is to cast away const with the unconstify() macro. Discussion: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/53a28052-f9f3-1808-fed9-460fd43035ab%402ndquadrant.com
2019-02-05Update time zone data files to tzdata release 2018i.Tom Lane
DST law changes in Kazakhstan, Metlakatla, and São Tomé and Príncipe. Kazakhstan's Qyzylorda zone is split in two, creating a new zone Asia/Qostanay, as some areas did not change UTC offset. Historical corrections for Hong Kong and numerous Pacific islands.
2019-01-19Replace @postgresql.org with @lists.postgresql.org for mailinglistsMagnus Hagander
Commit c0d0e54084 replaced the ones in the documentation, but missed out on the ones in the code. Replace those as well, but unlike c0d0e54084, don't backpatch the code changes to avoid breaking translations.
